Senior🎓
Top SchoolHaowen Shi is a robotics-minded software engineer and Co-Founder of Mach9 based in San Francisco, bringing a decade of experience building high-performance perception software. A Carnegie Mellon alumnus (B.S. ECE, M.S. Robotics), he blends rigorous academic research—years in CMU’s Biorobotics Lab—with hands-on systems performance work from two Apple OS performance internships. He focuses on squeezing latency and reliability from perception stacks, translating lab-grade robotics research into production-ready systems for real-world autonomy. As a founder, he pairs low-level optimization instincts with product velocity, tackling both infrastructure and algorithmic challenges. His background suggests a knack for finding subtle performance wins that compound across complex robotic pipelines.
